Perry options:
1. Cut him and pay him 11 million not to play here. If we outright cut him we owe him 11 right away. If we designate it a June 1st cut then we pay him 11 over two years instead. Spreads it out but same total.
2. Keep him and pay him 22 next year
3. 34 over two
4. 43 over three.

Idk about you but id rather cut him for 11 than keep him for 43.

The above numbers were based on my memory of a breakdown of it I saw on twitter last night. There might be some inaccuracies.

As long as were on the topic, I’d be interested to know what that number is for Matthews, Graham, and Cobb as well.

There is a huge difference accounting cap space and cold hard cash. And the cap follows the cash... not the cash following the cap.

Graham yearly cash
2019: $9 million
2020: $8 million ($17 million for two years)

We need to spend $$ on PROVEN OL talent, not wishful thinking.
